The Gateway Amphibian is a smooth, understable control driver (10/6/-4/2) with a thick flight plate and an etched rim, a combination that actually lets it float on water even at 175 grams. That thick plate gives it less late gyroscopic push, so instead of fading hard it tends to drop gently out of the air, which makes it a friendly distance option for slower and moderate arms. It holds long, easy lines, works beautifully as a turnover disc, and doubles as a dependable roller. Originally released as the Proto 103, it comes in a range of Gateway plastics including their durable Diamond and long-charging Super Glow. The Amphibian is an approachable driver for reach without a lot of power.

Reviews

6 reviews from 2 stores

The Gateway Amphibian has only 6 reviews so far, so one opinion can swing the picture. That's why there's no star average yet.

Try Discs adds up reviews from six disc golf stores, so you see what players think across stores, not just at one shop. Reviews are great for spotting proven, popular discs. Take the details with a grain of salt, though: runs, plastics and skill level all change how a disc flies, so your experience may vary.
